Traffic lights - WMD & D

WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION & DELAY

[Ian Perry]

Hi Martin,

I totally agree with you on this. How many accidents occur at junctions controlled with lights - I know my car has been hit at lights, once whilst stopped and once when turning... On the occasion I was turning, a guy coming the other way undertook another vehicle at speed because "green means GO", though once it meant "proceed with caution".

In Florida, the official road rules state that green means go...

As a cyclist here in the Netherlands, I am always frustrated that cars going in the same direction as I get a green light when I on my segregated path get red... I am then supposed to wait in the cold and rain when no cars are coming... I'm supposed to wait, the Dutch do wait!
